Monogamy works well for some but not others. Social status, religion, race, sexual orientation, and political philosophy don’t matter. Honesty, openness, love, commitment, communication, patience, and egalitarianism do.
Here I pass along what I’ve learned and teach at events on common challenges polyamorists encounter and their practical remedies, along with thoughts on related subjects such as community organizing, activism, and sexual freedom. Feel free to comment – and welcome!

As you may have noticed, I am no longer blogging here. After twenty years as a poly community organizer and advocate, I reached a point where I wish to spend more time living a poly life, something full on poly advocacy has left too little time for. This is possible largely because the world of polyamory leadership has expanded so much that there are plenty of smart, savvy, committed, multi-generational leaders carrying on this vital work.

I am still a proponent of polyamory, still a spokesperson and community leader. I'm still a sexual freedom advocate. I'm also still an educator giving workshops on poly relationships, and I hope to see you somewhere soon. In the meantime, please check the posts here for specifics that may apply to your polyamorous journey. On my website you will also find other resources, including handouts from workshops that you may find helpful. In the meantime, I wish you love in abundance!P.S. I would be happy to add to or update the poly resources here with yours, just send an email with the link to anita@practicalpolyamory.com
